Here is the finished mini album that I created with my new line of products!

I used the basic mini album set that includes the album and the basic ledger/grid/music papers. Then I also used the album supplement which has all of the more colorful and decorative pieces that coordinate with the rest of the collection.

I'm sharing a large shot of each page so you can see all the little details.... Lots of photos below! Enjoy!

I used ALL of the pieces in the album kit and the album supplement which makes for a nice chunky album.... just how I like it!!

Let me know if you have any questions about the album. The products are shipping SOON!! Yay!!

THANK YOU to all of you for your support and sweet comments! I was blown away by how amazingly kind you all are and for the additional love and support you continue to post on the blog and social media!!! It still feels a bit like a dream but you all are definitely making it seem more real!!!

I truly poured my heart and soul into this collection and there is a lot of nervousness involved because you don't know exactly how it will be received. I am over the top excited and also humbled at the same time by what a great response you all have given it. It means so much because each piece from the line is like a part of me!! Now I can't wait to get the products into YOUR hands so I can be inspired by what you all do with it!!! I am told it will start shipping in February!!!

Tomorrow I am off to CHA!! I will be posting from the show and sharing lots of the fun with you, especially on instagram!

Here are a couple of cards I created with the line to display in my booth at the show.

I also created a mini album and will post that soon too!!

When Crate Paper approached me about designing and developing a signature line for their brand I knew instantly that it would be the most PERFECT fit for me! I have been a long time fan of their products and vibe, and from the moment we even started talking about things, it became a collaboration made in heaven!

The process has been exciting and surreal and really sooooo much fun, but I will share more on that in times to come!

For now I don't want to keep you waiting any longer because I know what you really want to see are the products!!!

In the canisters I had some of my most favorite products from the line:

The Rhinestone and Resin Flowers on gold fasteners nonetheless:

The fabric bow embellishments:

The mini album supplement that goes with my mini album concept:

And the fabric polaroid frames:

I can't even describe what it feels like to have these products that I designed in my hands!!!

And the papers.... I can't wait for you to see all of the papers!!!

To celebrate my big announcement and show you LOTS more of the line, there's a BLOG HOP going on today with TONS of great close up images of all the products and some of the layouts that I have created!!

In case you get lost in the hop or want to start from here, the list of all the blogs participating is below!

Be sure to visit each blog in the hop and also check out the CRATE PAPER blog to see the entire product line.

And of course I have to include a GIVEAWAY to make things even more fun!!!

Once you have seen everything up close and in detail, COME BACK HERE to my blog and leave a comment telling me what your favorite thing is. I will draw a winner at random on Thursday and that winner will receive THE ENTIRE COLLECTION!!!!!!! (Crate is also doing a giveaway and you CAN enter in both giveaways doubling your chances to win!!)

In ADDITION I will be back to share some layouts with you in the next few days and will also be posting from CHA too. If you are new to my blog and want to keep up on all the updates and FUN you can subscribe to my blog feed by clicking on SUBSCRIBE over in the column to the right.

P.S. I will be giving away products on my other SOCIAL MEDIA as well! My instagram name is maggiehdesign. Links to follow me on facebook and twitter are right over there ------>

Thank you for sharing this BIG day with me!!! I can't wait to hear what you all think of the products!!! HUGS!!!!!

This is the LAST TIME I will be teaching this class online in its current format with the private message board and opportunity to turn in your assignments for personal individualized feedback. Also this is the LAST opportunity to take the class where you can post your messages on the board and get direct and detailed answers, explanations, individual help etc.

If you have been wanting to take the class, it's now or never!!

There will also be one LAST Advanced Class which is now open for registration as well and starts March 4th, 2013.

I've had lots wondering if they could still register for the Photography 101 Class even though it starts today. The answer is YES! I am holding registration open for a few more days since this is the LAST time I am teaching it online and I don't want anyone to miss out. There are no assignments for the first week so it is easy to jump in and catch right up if you register quick!!

No worries, I am not going anywhere.... just making room for some other BIG things that are happening in my life right now! More details on that coming very soon!!

And because I can't post without a picture, here are a couple of Lizzy Kate that I am swooning over this week! I want her to stay little!!! I die for her cute chubby cheeks and this age! It is my very favorite age!!! Photos taken last year on her birthday in the dress that I made her!
